  1.  @kyleolson9636 ha no. See my post in the reply to this main comment. We have solved this for a bare minimum at least 20 years now Down Under. Yet another video which an American 'problem' is highlighted yet I can't relate to as it's already been solved.

  2. it's both.

  3. Prove it.

  4.  @Chris-wq3pe  there already is. It's sodium-ion batteries. Lithium has greater energy density for the size and is lighter, thus why it is used for your phone for example. Renewable battery storage doesn't need to consider size and weight as it is stationary. Sodium-ion is also cheaper for the energy density vs lithium.

  5. Fossil fuels get more government subsidies.

  6. “People of any religion can live peacefully” - yeah, you forgot how Arab Muslim’s and Arab Jews did exactly that before 1920. 😂 you and your obvious whataboutism and selective history

  7. 1) You forgot a wee thing called rooftop solar, in which the members of the public get the feed-in tariffs 2) In Australia, most solar generation currently is rooftop solar and it has been costed than even with a 90% renewable generation mainly via solar (thus more batteries required), it still is cheaper than any other generation source.

  8.  @rtquest22  uh no. See my solution Australia has. In reality, you cannot trust most people to invest properly. It costs the government more if you let them. It is working great down here. Sigh, Americans coming up with ‘solutions’ when it had already been solved in other places.

  9. Johnny, love ya work but a but disingenuous to highlight the 'danger' of Roundup...when you look up the rating of it '2A'...it is in the same category as bacon and hairdressing. We don't need propaganda like this against Roundup :/

  10. In reality, demand is relatively even throughout the day, as residential demand is replaced by industrial demand during the day and vice versa.

  12.  @Bromasterplays  guess what is more than 30% higher? You don't factor in universal healthcare, lower transport costs either.

  13. @Porcupine "Having "free" things implies that citizens cannot manage their money and make informed economic decisions" - Yes, gambling addiction is a thing. Grow up.

  14. @Porcupine not to mention is it LITERALLY cheaper the other way around due to a larger pool of people paying with no profit incentive.

  15. @Porcupine universal healthcare says no.

  16.  @devidasa  Guess what else was classified as a possible carcinogen? Bacon. And hairdressing.

  17. ​ @wilsonjaviersantosgarcia7304  1) Court cases are not scientific fact 2) You have lead, arsenic, and highly radioactive elements in your blood right now. You consume formaldehyde and strontium when you eat food every single day. In fact, you *need those highly radioactive elements or else you get brittle bones and migraines. Why aren't you dead yet? Is it because it is the dosage that counts maybe? 3) Natural pesticides such as copper sulphate are 30x more toxic than Roundup 4) You know what LD50 is? 5) Roundup is less toxic than salt and vinegar 6) You would need to consume 70 tonnes of grain in one sitting to get Roundup poisoning 7) Learn some basic science and the first rule of poisons. 8) Less BS Youtube videos and "natural" websites, more scientific facts.

  18.  @wilsonjaviersantosgarcia7304  ignorance of science is not an option. The dose makes the poison Wilson.

  19. There's a thing called grid networks and interconnectors. You can export out the excess, even at a loss e.g. California solar -> Not so sunny Vancouver.

  21.  @damongraham1398  scroll up in these comments. Read mine about Australian Superannuation. It has already been solved. For 20 years by Australia and other Western European countries. That stereotype of Americans knowing nothing outside their borders….

  22.  @adriadelafuente3648  yes it is and heavily regulated. In fact our old right wing government INCREASED regulation.

  23.  @soju69jinro  easier said than done for many. And trusting regular peeps to have the knowledge to invest is laughable too. See my actual already solved solution earlier

  24. The problem with this is that it isn't near major population centres. The cost of electricity isn't just the generation. It is transmission as well I.e. the lines carrying the electricity.

  25. Oh boy, I love not thinking a thing called rooftop solar exists, where land isn't an issue. Oh boy, I love burning coal and creating coal flyash lakes that can create a ecological disaster if they burst (Kingston, Tennessee). Oh boy, I love not thinking that a lot of solar is on farmland and it actually helps protects and grows the crops more while giving the farmer an additional source of income. Oh boy, you loved being edgy but yet so ignorant.

  27. The UK and China fought a couple of wars over trade...oh, come on, don't PC the explanation! It was over opium aka DRUGS!!

  28. Literally everywhere that has extremely high solar irradiation. Look up a world map of it.

  29.  @starventure  This myth again - to quote: "So, altogether, direct US expenses on defence in Europe are estimated to range between US$30.7bn in 2017 and US$36.0bn in 2018, or between 5.1% and 5.5% of the total US defence budget, as measured by the IISS. These numbers, it could be argued, put the total defence spending of European NATO allies – US$239.1bn – in something of a different light." - lol you. This was 2018 as well. I think the International Institute for Strategic Studies knows a bit more than you.

  30.  @rogergeyer9851 everyone is gangster until the hospital bill arrives. Here's a clue: Most US bankruptcies are medical. Most of those medical ones are from those WITH insurance.

  31.  @dEcmircEd  yes, the latter has been calculated. It's still cheaper fir places eith massive solar irradiation. Not to mention, solar farms are typically next existing transmission lines and of course rooftop, uses existing.

  32.  @hanifarroisimukhlis5989  you forget the transmission costs are the biggest part of your bill. If you build it in the middle of the desert not near population centres, that negates any cost saving. In Australia, rooftop solar is literally less expensive than solar farms. You forget there is no land cost with rooftop solar as well, that isn't borne by the electricity companies.

  33.  @dEcmircEd  it is in reality the initial upfront cost. It is a few thousand dollars, but that will be paid off within 5 years via solar feed-in. Solar panels tend to last 20. And there is strong uptake. The states of Western Australia and South Australia have the highest solar panel adoption per 100,000 households in the world. And these are states in which mining are a strong part of their economies.

  34. You subsidise fossil fuels more.

  35. Regarding the second sentence: it's both.

  36. Same in Australia. It is both. the minimum wage shown is the bare, bare minimum.

  37. Look up world uranium prices. There's your answer.
